Art:
Decorate first letters in names. Print a set of
hollow letters. Provide each
child with a copy of the first letter of his name and colored tissue
paper. Have the child paint glue inside the letter and then rip the
tissue paper to fill in the letter.

Sort letters and
numbers. I made simple letter/number tiles by writing letters and
numbers on fun foam and then cutting them apart.

Math:

Match numbers and sets. I use
Arthur and Pooh puzzle cards that I found at the Dollar Tree. You could certainly
make your own numeral and set cards using stickers, stamps, or clip art.

Writing:
My New Friends. Print the poster sheet (one per child). Have small
photos of the children available--each child will need 3 pictures of
classmates. Children glue pictures to poster and write or cut/glue
classmates names.

Art:
Self portrait. Print one paper doll for each child. Have children
cut out and decorate the paper doll to look like them. Provide yarn for
hair and construction paper scraps for clothes.

Science: Introduction to magnifying
glasses--You will need a small magnifying glass for each student as well
as a collection of objects to observe (rocks, shells, leaves, etc).
Demonstrate how to use a magnifying glass to enlarge part of an object
(if you have a document camera with a magnify feature you could
demonstrate what "magnify" means first). Have students practice by
observing objects and sharing observations with partners and class. Have
students use the magnifying glasses to complete the
animal match up
worksheet.

*Once you have introduced magnifying
glasses, you can use the magnifying activity from the Science page in
your science center.
